National Sales Manager (Enterprise Accounts)

Location:

Charlotte, NC or Dallas, TX (Hybrid / Remote Consideration Pending Experience)

Crete United is hiring a National Sales Manager (Enterprise Accounts) to play a critical role in driving revenue generation and supporting the continued growth of new business across the country. As a key member of the Enterprise Accounts team, the National Sales Manager’s success will be determined by their ability to achieve sales targets by generating a pipeline of qualified opportunities, taking direct ownership of advancing the opportunities through the stages of deal progression, negotiating & closing agreements, and facilitating the transition of closed‑won deals to internal teammates in operations and/or the strategic accounts group for execution as part of a best‑in‑class customer experience.

In this role, you will guide and assist customers through a consultative sales process to develop a single‑source solution that achieves their goals by leveraging our unified platform of capabilities where we collaborate nationally and execute locally in various scopes; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, utility, and building automation. Candidates may note that while the primary focus is to utilize the capabilities of the in‑house partner businesses of Crete United, this role has the opportunity to cross‑sell any of the capabilities within the Energy Services group and supplement execution through our strategic subcontractor network to best serve the customer goals wherever local performance is needed.

We win by enabling multi‑site, repeatable work that is performed on time and on budget. The ideal candidate will be intrinsically motivated, relationship driven to relish in face‑to‑face engagement, possess a high‑level business acumen & integrity, and thrive in the autonomy of being accountable to their book of business that feeds the larger ecosystem.

• Build and maintain a balanced pipeline focused on repeatable, multi‑site opportunities for long‑term recurring revenue; project work should be given consideration for signature customer brands or cross‑sell opportunities with scalability.
• Achieve and sustain a pipeline representing 20–30% of Crete United’s annual booking target within 12 months.
• Participate in pipeline reviews, opportunity strategy discussions, and sales execution calls.
